to those who think they don't use the chart pay attention trade values TB Jax TB gets 33 (580) 106 (82) 180 (17.8) total 679.8 Jax gets 27 (680) total 680 NYJ TEN NYJ gets 26 (700) 101 (96) total 796 TEN gets 35 (550) 69 (245) 163 (24.6) total 819.6 BAL BUF BAL gets 25 (720) 130 (42) total 762 BUF gets 23 (760) total 760 NE KC NE gets 29 (640) 94 (124) 121 (52) total 816 KC gets 21 (800) total 800 PHI TEN PHI gets AJ Brown TEN gets 18 (900) 101 (96) total 990 (makes AJ brown worth about 16th overall) ARI BAL ARI gets M. Brown 100 (100) BAL gets 23 (760) total 760 makes Brown worth about pick 28 HOU PHI Hou gets 15 (1050) 124 (48) 162 (25) 166 (23.4) total 1146.4 PHI Gets 13 (1150) total 1150 MIN DET MIN gets 32 (590) 34 (560) 66 (260) Total 1410 DET gets 12 (1200) 46 (440) Total 1640 WAS NO WAS gets 16 (1000) 98 (108) 120 (54) total 1162 NO gets 12 (1200) total 1200 in short most of the trades were pretty dead even the only ones that stand out as bad IMO ARI BALT I think arizona way overpaid for a mediocre WR. brown was worth IMO at best a mid to late 3rd plus they have to pay him. MIN DET detroit fleeced minn, they took way too little to move back. they should have gotten a future 2nd as well and a 5th in this draft to even it out for the jets trade, technically we overpaid a little however, considering JJ was considered top 15 by most you could argue his value was worth more then we paid
Given JD said we had been trying to trade up to every pick from #15 on, a little overpay for #26 is still far cheaper than JJ could have cost. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Of the picks for picks swaps, NE (21) & BAL(23), it's reasonable to question whether they wanted to slide out of the 1st & lose the 5th year option. You can also question whether BB would even consider trading with the Jets. To get to #21, we probably would have dealt the same picks, but not received a late 3rd back.
Excellent post. Normally there's a premium with a trade up (I forget the percentage), but this is a reminder of how this draft was viewed overall. As for the Jets' deal. Considering where they (and just about everyone else) had JJ valued, "overpaying" by the equivalent of a 5th rounder is well worth it.
I did the same number crunching. Amazing without the QB tax how much things stuck to chart. We "overpaid " by basically the 163 =26.2 which was cheap and we didn't have a six or seventh rounder to use instead. If we move from 38 about 10 spots we could get a 4 and 5 or a 4 this year and 2023 4. If we move back 15 or so picks, we should gain a third.
